Romania's Cultural Consumption Barometer: Difficult access, cost hamper participation in cultural education activities

Participation in cultural education activities continues to be limited, with the main barriers being difficult access, insufficient knowledge, and cost, the recently released Cultural Consumption Barometer 2024 shows.

The report showed that many Romanians still associate culture with entertainment rather than with personal development or furthering their knowledge. The need for relaxation dominates in cultural consumption, at the expense of educational experiences.
